Hasbro Trivial Pursuit 41039 User manual

OBJECT ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
To move along the circular track and the spokes correctly
answering questions, and to collect colored wedges for correctly
answering questions in each of the six category “headquarters”
(at the base of each spoke). To win, a player (or team) returns
to the hexagonal hub and correctly answers the game-winning
question in a category chosen by the other players.
EQUIPMENT ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
TRIVIAL PURSUIT® gameboard • Question-and-answer cards
in 2 card storage boxes • 1 die • 6 tokens • 36 scoring wedges
SETUP –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
• Select one token and six scoring wedges, one in each of the six
category colors.
• Roll the die; the high roller goes first.
• All players start in the hexagonal hub at the center of the
board and move down one of the spokes and out onto the
circular track. Play moves in either direction around the track,
clockwise or counter-clockwise.
GAME PLAY ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
First turn:
On your first turn, roll the die and select which color/
category you want to land on and which of the six
spokes you’ll move down. If you roll a 6, you will immediately
land on a category headquarters and try for a scoring wedge of
that color.
Whichever color you land on, another player will ask you a
question in that category:
The other player draws the first card from either box
and reads the question next to the appropriate colored oval.
Answers are on the opposite side of each card. When done with
the question, place the card in the back of its box, behind the
other cards.
If you answer your first question correctly, continue your
turn by rolling the die again and moving that number of spaces.
The categories are color coded…
Blue................People & Places Brown...........Science & Nature
Pink......Arts & Entertainment Green..............Sports & Leisure
Yellow............................History Orange........................Wild Card
NOTES:
• On each roll of the die, you may select which direction you
want to move along the track as you attempt to move
towards category headquarters to try for scoring wedges in
each of the six colors.
• You can not move both forward and back on the track (or on
a spoke) in the same move.
• You must move the number of spaces shown on the die.
• If you answer incorrectly, play passes to the player on your left.
Subsequent turns:
Whenever you answer a category headquarters question
correctly, put that colored wedge into your token. But if you
answer incorrectly, on your next turn you must move out of
that category headquarters for a question before re-entering
and trying again for that color piece. You do not have to try that
same category immediately; you may move elsewhere on the
board and return to it later.
There are 12 “Roll again” spaces on the track. If you land on
one, continue your turn by rolling the die and moving again.
NOTE: Any number of tokens may occupy the same space at the
same time.
Moving through the Hub:
You may cut across the board by moving your token up the
spokes to the center hub and out again, moving either straight

across the hub, or “turning” and going down another spoke.
If you land by exact count right in the hub—but can’t try to
win the game because you do not yet have wedges in all six colors
—you may pick whichever category you want for your question.
WINNING THE GAME –––––––––––––––––––––––––
Once you’ve collected one scoring wedge in each color,
make your way to the hub and try to answer the game-winning
question. You must land in the hub by exact count; if you
overshoot the hub, pick the spoke you want to move down and
answer the question in the category you land on; then, on your
next move, try again to hit the hub by exact count.
When you do hit the hub, the other players select the
category of the game-winning question from the next card in
the box.
Answer the question correctly, and you win! Answer it
incorrectly and you must wait for your next turn, leave the hub,
answer a question and then re-enter the hub again—by exact
count!—for another question.
NOTE: Since a player continues his or her turn until a question
is answered incorrectly, it is possible for one player to move
around the board and collect all six scoring wedges, then
move into the hub and win the game—all on one turn. If this
happens, any player who has not yet had a turn is permitted a
chance to duplicate the feat and create a tie.
VARIATION FOR A SHORTER GAME ––––––––
Determine before you begin that you will collect just four or five
wedges (instead of the full six) before moving to the hub for the
final, game-winning question.
NOTES ON PLAY ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
• Players will collectively decide how long a person has to
answer a question, and how specific the answer must be. For
example, is a last name enough, or must the player give both
the first and last name. You are not required to give the
explanatory information that appears in parentheses after
some answers.
• Players should remember that making a guess is always
better than not answering at all. Players often amaze
themselves with what they know!
• The TRIVIAL PURSUIT® game lends itself well to team play
for – as many as 24 players. Disperse those considered strong in
various categories among the teams. Teammates decide how a
question should be answered; to avoid confusion, the team
captain should give each answer.
• All TRIVIAL PURSUIT® games may be played with cardsfrom
other editions. The colored ovals on the question-and-answer
cards are always arranged in the same order to facilitate
interchangeable play.
